St James’s

Defined by its four corners — St James’s Palace, The Ritz, Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square — this grand and historic area of central London is best known for its art community and menswear credentials. But as a champion of independent retail in all its guises, it is increasingly finding new favour with those of us who question modern ideas of quality and value.

Sumptuous interiors with lashings of gold leaf filigree, ornate carpets in swirls of green and pink, and incomparable stucco work, this fine dining institution is a wonder of perfectly harmonised parts. From the incredible kitchen to the intricate dance of waiters in the main dining room, all is expertly synchronised by maestro head chef John Williams. Old world grandeur certainly, but also a century ahead in the careful sourcing of ingredients and a champion of seasonality.
